FRAZER ; On Richardson's concern that populations might be 

 overestimated, this would mean that every adult 

 female and indeed every adult is more valuable and 

 perhaps such measures as size limits should be re- 

 evaluated. On the matter of shell exports, some 

 countries such as Belize are apparently major new 

 exporters of shell. Stockpiled quantities of 

 shell have been observed in Belize in the past and 

 current exports therefore need not represent new 

 hunting. However, when the stockpiles have been 

 exported, pressure for new hunting can be 

 expected. 



CHAIR ; Conley was thanked for his presentation as were
